How do you start a "new" mission. I just flew a short test mission , then brought the plane down and loaded a new mission. I even had it read it back to me to be sure it was loaded, but when I went up and hit auto, it just wanted to come home.. Just like it was finishing the previous mission.
BTW, can I just load a new mission while it is loitering over head? that would be nice.
Do I have to reboot the APM2 each time? I don't think that is desirable, but it sure would not accept a mission even though the waypoints showed it did.
I even hit restart mission from the Flight screen while in the air, but this had no effect either.
thanks for any help

I tried to reset the mission today and it just returned home when I reselected AUTO again. During all tries I switched out of auto than hit the reset. After reading some comments maybe I am suppose to leave it in AUTO and hit the reset – is this correct?
Say if the first point in a mission is a waypoint and the last point is unlimited loiter. Once it starts the loiter I just hit reset and it will head off to WP 1. Is that the way I am suppose to do it?
Too windy to test that theory now so I want to know the correct procedure when I go out to fly next time.

There's an assumption that everyone has or uses telemetry and can thus perform a 'Mission Restart'. What if you don't have it or left it at home that day (as I did)?
I'm a big proponent of 'easy, simple, logical' operation so clearly the way to restart a mission - once complete and in loiter around home - must surely be to switch out of Auto and then back into Auto?
do you have 2 way telemetry?
in the action tab on the flight data tab, you can restart mission from there.
